The Woman in the Case.
ELIZABETH RODGERS,
LEADER IN THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.


The wife of George Rodgers, who Is
q member of the Executive Board of
District Assembly a, of Chicago, is
notable woman, because she IS the only
female Knight of Labor who ranks as
leader In that great organization. She
Is said to be statesmanlike IN address,
having clear head, well-defined opin-
ions, and a good command of apt Ian
guage. Notwithstanding the fact that
she is the mother of nine children, one
an infant, the survivors of family OF
twelve, she devotes much time and
labor to the interests of the Knights,
and Is Master Workman of District As
sembly "a of Chicago.
Mrs. Rodgers is a native of Ireland.
She was born at Woodford, County
Galway, about forty years ago. When
six years old she came to America with
her mother. Her first home in this
country was in New York, from which
her mother and she removed to Lon
don, Ontario, still the residence of the
elder woman.
About ten years ago Mrs. Rodgers
organized the first working women s
union IN Chicago. She was its presi-
dent more than two years. Other Of
fees which have been held by her are
the presidency of the Eighth Ward
(Chicago) Land League, and of the
Daughters of Erin. During the past
seven years she has been delegate to
the State Trades Assembly of Illinois,
and for four years, the delegate from
Local Assembly 1,7S9, of Chicago, to
District Assembly "a. Her prolonged
term of office as Master Workman OF
Local Assembly 1,7S9 was succeeded
by her incumbency, which she still
holds, of the corresponding dignity in
District Assembly "A. In all her &C.
tivities in the cause of labor, Mrs.
Rodgers is encouraged by her husband,
who is prominent and capable worker
In the same cause. When, a few months
ego, the knights of Labor held Con-
vention at Richmond, Virginia, she at
tended it, accompanied by her infant,
then only few weeks old, and who was
formally made a Knight.

The Piutes' Christmas Stew.

There are perhaps dozen men in this city
who make living by getting up cartoons
for cigar stores and eating houses in colored
chalk The figures on these pictures are gen.
orally life size, executed in colored crayons
and portraying some subject of local inter
est. A leading politician is represented be-
fore and after lunching at such and such a
restaurant, or in the act of executing a war
dance while smoking a certain brand of
cigar. In some cases the portraits are very
good, though the manner of execution and
coloring are rude and faulty. The class of
men who do this kind of work are often very
well paid and find regular employment.
They are usually broken down artists or
those who have made failure in the legiti-
mate branches of art and still have banker
ing to use pencil and color. In the holiday
season they reap the largest returns and are
able to make handsome sum of money for
the few weeks preceding Christmas. New

Henry Georges Legacy.

The widow of George Hutchins, of New
Jersey, has recently written to Henry George
with reference to the legacy of $1,000 left by
her deceased husband for the purpose of being
applied to the gratuitous distribution of Mr..
Georges book. Mrs Hutchins explains that
her share OF her husbands estate was very
much less than she had supposed; in fact, that
it was totally insufficient for her support. In
reply Henry George told her that under the
circumstances he would ascertain what legal
action must be taken with the view of trans
ferring to her the money left to him. The
money was left to him absolutely.-Chicago

Intelligence of Two Dogs.

John Schier, the aged Waterman of a
Louisville furniture factory, fell on the ice
ON a recent cold night and broke his thigh
He tired himself out shouting, but no one
came, and he was in fair way to freeze to
death, when j. l.. Eshman's two Newfound-
land dogs ran up. Schier had played with
them since they were puppies, and they were
glad to see him and were ready for a frolic;
but when their friend didn't get up they at
once knew something wrong. First they
howled long and mournfully; then they
dashed away, ran to their masters house,
and awakened him by their barking and
scratching. He knew their intelligence, and
followed them to where the old man lay in
sensible. He carried him to the factory office,
summoned a surgeon by telephone, and while
the doctor reduced the fracture the two dogs
stood on the outside of the Office with their
fore feet on the window sill and watched him
through the window.-New York Sun

Unique Game of Polo.

game of polo, supplemented with an
original and unique feature, was played with
great success at Wooster, o., few evenings
ago. Seven contestants on rollers were given
charge over as many large, fat turkeys, to be
driven through the usual goal. The birds
were to be shown the greatest possible kind
ness, and nothing allowed in propelling them
to the goal but gentle @Shooi, or slight
tension of the tender rope which connected
them with the contestants. After twenty
minutes careful coaching one of the fowls
suddenly grasped the idea and boldly stalked
through, amid storms of applause

At the surrender of CORVALLIS the Ameri-

Counterfeit silver Dollars Afloat.

Comparatively new counterfeit silver dol
lars, dated 1882, are in circulation in Chicago.
They are SO nearly perfect as almost to defy
detection and any one not an expert would
take them without question, and even an ex-
pert would be deceived unless he made a
critical examination. They are nearly up to
the standard weight. The milling, on which
so many counterfeiters fail, is admirably
done. The ring is almost genuine and the
general execution good. They are, however,
lacking in the rich silver color or appearance,
but look like tin in light colored brickdust
water They are supposed to have come here
in quantities during the holidays.-Ch Chicago

Walk rip-roes Through the Mud

Have you ever noticed how careless the
men down town are about crossing the muddy
streetss often think with pity of their poor
wives or whoever has to brush off the mud.
They splash right into the thickest part and
not only spatter themselves, but every one in
their neighborhood. Now, If they would
only go on their tip-toes their heels would
have no chance to spatter their trousers or
the people behind them. Such practice for
one day, | estimate, would make a thousand
hours less work for the women at home

The Hard worked Queen of Spain.

The queen regent of Spain is probably the
most overworked woman in her dominions.
She rises at z, and soon as she has made
her toilet she sends for her little son and the
members of the royal family, and spends an
hour or so with them At 8 she attends to
her household affairs, goes over her accounts,
gives her orders for the day, reads her letters,
glances through the newspapers, and is ready
by 10 or little after to receive the report Of
the captain general of the garrison He is
succeeded by the prime minister, who has a
long interview with the queen on the affairs
of state every day but Monday, when she
presides at cabinet council instead
At l2 the royal family sit down to dejeuner,
at which meal the little king always assists
though only as a spectator, of course. At
2 one of the ministers presents himself with
the DEGREES and state papers of different kinds
which await her signature. Twice a week
she holds a levee, and it is rarely over before
6. The other days she takes a drive without
an escort or any other show of state. After
dinner the royal party amuse themselves with
cards or talk literature and art with Count
Morphy, who is an accomplished musician,
and at IL the queen retires to seek the rest to
which she is well entitled after her fatiguing
days work.-St. James Gazette.
